Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Slavoj Zizek did another book on Lacan except he related all the theories to popular culture....It pretty much blew my mind back in 1st year university.

'Round Ireland With a Fridge
(Tony Hawks)

It's a narrative by a British comic who takes on a bet to hitchhike the circumference of Ireland with a mini-fridge in one month.

I'm a fan of any book I can treat like a ****.
